Dear Reader,

Welcome to Scienceline, the newest science news destination on the web. Here you’ll find a fresh perspective on the world of science, written by soon-to-be famous and wildly-successful science journalists. (We’ll probably be rich, too!)

So who are we, anyway? Well, there’s the simple answer: We’re grad students in NYU’s Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program. But who are we, anyway? We come from all over the world, we’ve studied everything from biology to music, physics to English. We’re a motley crew of writers and thinkers, artists and drinkers. We’re lovers of science – of knowledge – and most of all, we’re lovers of spreading that knowledge. Scienceline is our bullhorn – and it’s your direct line to the most fascinating stories on the web.

We’ll bring you original content: breaking news and in-depth features, about everything from local New York phenomena to worldwide issues. Profiles of scientists, environmental investigations, and even movie reviews. Anything that stirs our curiosity! Or yours – got a burning question? Drop us a line! Just click on “Ask Scienceline” on the homepage and tell us what you want to know. We’ll hop to it! Also be sure to visit our blog, where thoughtful rambling and interesting links abound. One thing is guaranteed – if it’s on Scienceline, it’s worth checking out.

So stay tuned. You’ll read about green architecture and urban coyotes. Bikers-turned-worm-farmers and a beach in the Meatpacking District. Tanning and manholes and rainbows, oh my! We promise to make Scienceline the most excellent adventure we possibly can – you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.

And that’s the bottom line.

  3. Yo Karen!
    Great website! As for the government’s spending on the space program, I agree that GW needs to get rid of the deficit first (which was put in the hole because of his defense-spending, of course!!)
    Meanwhile, you sci-geeks have to do some serious discovery-work on why the Great Lakes have not recovered from their low-levels. There used to be a chronic seven-year cycle, which seems to have mysteriously abated. Could it be that some corporations are draining them for drinking-water profits across the world, or could it be that other states are siphoning it away, against the Great Lakes Basin protection-laws. Go to work, you science-’Nancy Drews’ and ‘Hardy Boys’ and let me know what you find out. I’m in contact with Clean Water Action in Michigan, but I’m not sure they know the answer either. This serious problem was even addressed in the Shanghai Daily! Stay in touch…. Good luck, Karen!(et.al….)

  13. Hey guys,

    This…is…AWESOME!!!

    Ever since visiting last October, I’ve been excited about the possibilities of the SHERP program at NYU. Seeing something like this, where everyone in the class gets involved and works together, gets me even MORE excited! I can’t wait to collaborate on something like this!
